Also, neither Crohnâs disease nor ulcerative colitis is related to food allergies. According to the Crohnâs & Colitis Foundation of America: âPeople with IBD may think they are allergic to foods because they associate the symptoms of IBD with eating.â.
Eczema, also known as dermatitis, describes a group of skin conditions where the skin is irritated or inflamed. There are many different types of eczema - the most common is atopic eczema (also called endogenous eczema). About 1 in 6 children get atopic eczema in the UK, but most grow out of it by their teens.
However, in the case of some irritants, such as poison ivy, contact dermatitis can be passed to another person or to another part of the body. Stasis dermatitis is characterized by scaly, greasy looking skin on the lower legs and around the ankles. Stasis dermatitis is most apt to affect the inner side of the calf.
